Kaloex Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Can anyone explain whats the process of sending and receiving bitcoins and what kind of bitcoin wallet I should use?
Kaloex Posted April 18, 2016 Author Posted April 18, 2016 On coinbase.com can I send/receive bitcoins without confirming my identity?
Failed4life Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 why wouldnt you confirm ur idenity ? as for answering ur question.. I'm not sure, I think so, but confirming your identity increases your limit. Don't take my word for it though because I'm not positive on this.

Failed4life Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 you dont need to send a picture or anything, just last 4 digits of ur SSN and ur name and address
Kaloex Posted April 18, 2016 Author Posted April 18, 2016 I'm not from the US. I'm from Asia and only ways to verify identity is ID , passport or drivers license.
Failed4life Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 oh :\ not sure what to tell you then. I guess try signing up for it and see what they let you do. If they don't let you use it.. at least it was worth a shot.
jackshow Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Can anyone explain whats the process of sending and receiving bitcoins and what kind of bitcoin wallet I should use? https://www.coinbase.com/ works fine, but I wouldn't suggest it due to past issues with coinbase. I would use https://blockchain.info/wallet You should be fine with coinbase for the most part, but if you deal with any fishy people I would use blockchain. Regardless; you don't need to confirm your identity at all on blockchain but you do have to provide a name on coinbase. Your account won't be limited at all on coinbase without a verified identity. However, you can't buy or sell bitcoins on coinbase without confirming your identity. You can just receive btc and then send btc. Not buy btc from coinbase and then sell btc to coinbase. You'll have to get your own btc elsewhere if you're planning on doing that. As for the sending and receiving part of btc, basically if you're sending btc you'd go to the send money tab and put their wallet address in Blockchain: http://i.imgur.com/oiLV3Qt.png Coinbase: http://i.imgur.com/WqD0qN5.png For receiving btc, you would give them your wallet address which is either a scan code or something like this 18sJkUdhdhE75hdmsaje5FgsjhRTxk.
